Jiuzhaigou's blue

Now, you no longer have to sit on a 7 or 8-hour bus to get to Jiuzhaigou! 🚉Transportation strategy: Take the train from Chengdu East to Zhenjiangguan, which takes about an hour and a half. There are not many direct trains, and there are a lot of people going, so you need to grab a ticket. After arriving at Zhenjiangguan, if you want to go to Songpan Ancient Town, you can take the free shuttle bus at the exit. If you're heading to Jiuzhaigou, you can buy your bus ticket in advance on Ctrip. The buses to Jiuzhaigou are located behind the snack stands at the exit, down an unfinished gravel road, leading to an unfinished parking lot. With the bus number sent in the confirmation text message, you can find your bus. The whole process of finding the bus takes about 10 minutes, and it's about a 3-hour drive from Zhenjiangguan to Jiuzhaigou. 🛏【Hotel strategy】: It's better not to stay in Luneng Town, which is a bit far.

The Primeval Forest, personally, I don't think it's necessary to check in, you can skip getting off. ✅Must experience: During the off-season, which is also the dry season, the smaller lakes don't have much water, so go straight to the bigger ones.
